As far as I can tell, different faces, but same old, same old… I mean, literally anyone is better than Biden at the job, considering age…

What do dems worry about her?

    Not American, so please take this with a grain of salt; but from what I hear she was campaigning in 2020 and dropped out early in favor of Biden because her support in the population was miniscule. So I can imagine they are quite wary whether the perception has changed to the point of her being able to actually win the election.

      To be fair, name recognition is hugely important in politics, and in 2020 nobody outside of California had heard of her.

      But she has name recognition now that she’s been VP. That is a huge bonus.

      She is a woman of color who was a cop and prosecutor when recent events call those first two qualities into question with the latter two.

      But this is a time when Democrats, I believe, will say that this is a strong candidate with knowledge of the legal system in a time when we need to strike down right-wing supported terrorism and put the enemies of our nation away.

      Let’s see how she campaigns, not that she can lose my vote.
